n
air of electricity permeates Mario Stadium, the site of this years
Star Cup. The Koopa crowd is silent in anticipation of the serve. Deep into
the fifth set, Yoshi is trailing Mario in the tie-breaker to decide it all.
We pick up the action with play-by-play announcer Baby Bowser, joined by
color commentator Coin Brick.

Baby Bowser: "This is Yoshis first
trip to the Star Cup. I cant imagine whats going through his
head right now, but I bet it doesnt revolve around large, spotted
eggs."

Coin Brick: "You said it, BB. The pressure
is on the green dinosaur to come up with something special here."

Baby Bowser: "Heres the toss and
the serve. Great placement. Yoshi painted the corner with that one. Mario
returns up the line."

Coin Brick: "Boy, Mario pounded the ball
so hard, I half expected to see a coin squirt out of it."

Baby Bowser: "Yeah, that was quite a
hit, but the crafty Yoshi was game. Look at that slicing forehand, taking
the Italian Stallion out wide. Ooh! Mario answers with a power-shot."

Coin Brick: "Man, he hit the ball so
darn hard, I expected to see a coin come out of it."

Coin Brick: "Wow. He hit the ball so
hard I half expected to see a coin pop out of it."

Baby Bowser: "Alright, thats it.
Enough about the coins already."

Coin Brick: "Im just relating my
experience."
